Title: Powder coating process with electrostatically charged fluidised bed
IPC: B05D1/24
Filed: 2002-06-06
Abstract: A process for forming a coating on a conductive substrate, including the steps of: establishing a fluidised-bed of a powder coating composition, thereby effecting tribostatic charging of the powder coating composition, the fluidised-bed including a fluidising chamber at least a part of which is conductive, applying a voltage to the conductive part of the fluidising chamber, immersing the substrate wholly or partly in the fluidised bed, whereby charged particles of the powder coating composition adhere to the substrate, the substrate being either electrically isolated or earthed, withdrawing the substrate from the fluidised-bed and forming the adherent particles into a continuous coating over at least part of the substrate. The process offers advantages in terms of coating substrate areas which, because of the Faraday cage effect, are inaccessible in conventional electrostatic powder coating processes, and also enables the formation of thinner coatings than are obtainable by conventional fluidised-bed processes.

Title: Method and apparatus for completing a well
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2002-11-13
Abstract: A method of monitoring fluid production in a well, comprises measuring over time local parameters at a series of locations along the well, each local measurement being responsive to changes in the parameters in the region in which it is made; measuring fluid properties in the well over time downstream from the series of locations; and determining changes in the local measurements and in the measured fluid properties; and identifying locations of the formation contributing to the changes in the measured fluid properties by determining corresponding changes in the local measurements. By combining a distributed measurement made within the formation and a measurement of the fluids in the well downstream of the producing formation, it is possible to identify the location in the well at which a change has occurred in the produced fluids. Installations and completion systems for performing the method include local sensors in completion screens which can also include sealing system for shutting off flow. <IMAGE>

Title: An Article, and method for creating the article, with a chemically patterned surface
IPC: G03F7/00
Filed: 2006-04-28
Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of an article and a method of forming an article with a surface which can have at least one sub-layer and a top layer of material. At least one part of the top layer is selectively removed to expose at least one sub-layer and/or the surface of the substrate and allow the functionality of the sub-layer and/or surface to be utilised in the area(s) where it is exposed.

Title: Synchronisation arrangements
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 1987-03-11
Abstract: The synchronisation arrangement includes a waveform and synchronisation information generator to supply synchronisation information for transmission with a data stream over digital switching networks.

The checks made are in respect of detecting both patterns, the amount of phase displacement, and the correct sequence. If the synchronisation information is invalid, the detecting interface selects a data stream from another network exclusively for use by the corresponding peripheral device.

Title: Egress hinge
IPC: E05D15/44
Filed: 1987-06-12
Abstract: A hinge or friction stay which allows a window or door to open far enough to give adequate egress. The stay, when used on a window provides a clear window opening through which a person could escape in the event of fire. The hinge comprises a track (14) with a nose cap (15). A strut (18) is pivoted to a slider (20) movement of which is restricted by stop (17) and a second stop (21). A strut (18) is connected to a bar (23) carrying a nose member (24) and the bar is also connected via a link (25) to a second slider (26). A brace (27) connects strut (18) to slider (26).
